# The 1.12 and 1.15 branches are no longer supported and remain vulnerable to
# various CVEs (CVE-2013-6424, bug #493294 and CVE-2017-2624 bug #611350 just
# to name a few). They remain in tree only for old nvidia-drivers 96 and 173.
<x11-base/xorg-server-1.19.2
<x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.19
As a consequence, trying to update my system (that uses the default funtoo kits) gives the following error:
!!! The following installed packages are masked: - x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.17::xorg-kit (masked by: package.mask) /var/git/meta-repo/kits/core-kit/profiles/package.mask/00-gentoo: # Matt Turner <mattst88@gentoo.org> (21 Oct 2017) # The 1.12 and 1.15 branches are no longer supported and remain vulnerable to # various CVEs (CVE-2013-6424, bug #493294 and CVE-2017-2624 bug #611350 just # to name a few).

As a work-around, I' ll switch to the 1.19-prime kit as described on https://www.funtoo.org/X_Window_System
